Connection options
The Wöhler VIS 400 monitor is a component of an expandable modular inspection system that the user can configure to meet the demands of any working environment. The various connection options are described below; please also refer to the Section Accessories. To perform inspections, a Wöhler camera rod and a camera head or a Wöhler camera cable and a camera head must be connected to the monitor.

6.1.2
Camera cable
The most effective method of inspecting things such as chimney and downpipes is from above, for example when standing on the roof. To do so, it is necessary to connect a camera cable to the monitor.
Fig. 5: Inspections using camera cable from above
6.1.3
Cable reel
The Wöhler cable reel can store up to 30 m of camera cable and proves extremely useful when working with the cable. The monitor is secured to the cable reel using the connection for the telescopic stand.
Fig. 6: Wöhler cable reel with camera head connected
6.1.4
Camera viper
If it is not possible to perform an inspection from above, it will be necessary to connect a camera viper. It is far easier to handle the camera rod when used in conjunction with a Wöhler camera viper, which can store up to 30 m of camera rod.

Rechargeable battery status and recharging WARNING! Risk of injury when handling the rechargeable batteries improperly! Never open the rechargeable battery housing. Do not throw rechargeable batteries into a fire or expose to high temperatures. There is a risk of explosion! If handled improperly, a liquid may emerge from rechargeable batteries that can cause skin irritation. Avoid contact with the liquid. Rinse skin with large amounts of water if it comes into contact with the liquid. If the liquid comes into contact with eyes, rinse with water immediately for 10 minutes and consult a doctor immediately!
WARNING! Danger of death by electrocution! Never touch an electrical outlet with wet hands! Do not expose the power pack to moisture! Never pull the cable to remove the power pack from the electrical outlet - it could rip out the cable! Operate the power pack only when the mains power supply is the same as the voltage stated on the rating plate!
CAUTION! Switch off the camera system before charging the battery.
CAUTION! If the camera is not used regularly, we recommend to discharge the battery by powering on the camera. After that charge the battery completely. Repeat this procedure after approx. 6 weeks.

Switching on the system and monitor Charging rechargeable batteries
To recharge the battery, proceed as follows:
Fig. 12: Schematic overview of battery recharging
Connect the power pack to the charger connection of the device and the main power supply. The lower half of the light framing the ON/OFF key flashes red during the recharging process; when the battery is fully recharged it lights up red continuously as long as the power pack remains connected. NOTE! The operating time of the rechargeable battery is approx. 120 minutes.

Switching on the system and monitor
Insert a memory card (max. 32 GB). NOTE! If you are using a memory card other than the one included in the scope of supply, you must format it first (FAT32) before you can use it on a PC.
To format the card, proceed as follows:
Fig. 13: ON/OFF key
Insert the card into the card slot of your PC.
In the Explorer, right-click the removable media memory card, then select "Format".

Displaying the position of the camera head
The position can only be displayed if a Ø 26 mm or Ø 40 mm Wöhler camera head is connected. Pointer symbol A pointer symbol displayed in the top left corner of the screen always indicates the direction of gravity, meaning, towards the bottom. This ensures the user is able to recognize where top and bottom are in the pipe. A circle is displayed around the symbol if the camera head faces vertically upwards. A cross is displayed in the middle of the symbol if the camera head faces vertically downwards. Fig. 27: Display with pointer symbol and number of degrees
Number of degrees
The number of degrees displayed underneath indicates the downward gradient of the pipe. Example graphic: - 13° corresponds to a downward grade of 13°. NOTE!

Guide accessories
This section contains some recommendations based on our experience about the selection of guide accessories for the inspection in tubes and ducts. As all pipes and chimney systems are different, the user has to decide about the guide accessory in every single case. For the selection of the correct tool it is important to consider that the guide accessory has to facilitate the introduction and the extraction of the camera head, as well as an adequate guidance. The danger of jamming or getting stuck in the tube has to be avoided. NOTE! The information given in this section only refers to the accessories. Ø 40 - 50 mm
Use the service camera without accessories.
Ø 50 – 70 mm
You can use the service camera without accessories. The lens can be protected by the guidance sleeve. If there is water and mud in the horizontal part, we recommend to use the roller guide.
Ø 70 – 100 mm
The inspection is possible with the roller guide and without it. Use the guidance weight for the vertical inspection or for the inspection of downpipes.
Ø 100 – 154 mm
A centering brush can be used with the roller guide or without it and with the lens protection.

Replacing the dome of the camera head
Fig. 31: Fitting the camera dome
NOTE! Wöhler's Ø 40 mm pan&tilt camera head is supplied ex-works protected by a plastic dome, which can be replaced if necessary. If it becomes scratched, it is optional to fit this camera head with a glass dome for use in dry working environments. The Ø 51 mm camera head is always supplied with a real glass dome, which it is possible to replace if required! Apply silicone grease before fitting the new dome. When fitting the replacement dome, make sure you cover all of the thread to ensure it is properly tightened. Otherwise, it cannot be guaranteed that the camera head is properly sealed, and malfunctions can occur as a result of water and dirt penetration. Clean the monitor using a soft cloth.
